A rowdy, joke-server gimmick night out
“tossing drinks on the ground when you ask for a refill, napkins, etc...”

Roger has returned to this Gaslamp dive bar a few times for its signature schtick -- servers deliberately tossing drinks and napkins around when asked for refills -- finding it hilarious even though a couple of his friends didn't care for the bit; he said that's the whole point of coming here.

Came a few times and enjoyed the deliberately rude "dicks" shtick from the staff. Said a couple of friends didn't like the experience, but that's the whole point of the place.
Stay in the neighborhood
A low-key rooftop whiskey-cocktail bar above a Gaslamp hotel; Roger says the list is smaller than Whiskey House or Aero's but the Old Fashioned or Sazerac still hits, alongside tasty tater tots.
A family-owned Gaslamp taqueria Roger calls a great substitute for El Gordo, with more generous portions and carne asada, adobada, and birria all on point.
A Gaslamp French bakery Roger liked for its selection of sweets — macarons, pastries, and even a sour beer.

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.
Great food, slow service: the birthday dinner where Roger was charged $1.50 for a truffle nobody ordered.
